I am a student, and I had a credit card which is taken based on my fixed deposit. I checked my CIBIL TRANSUNION SCORE and it found to be 804. I would like to apply for a new credit card. Can I apply for a new credit card based on my CIBIL SCORE? If so would you recommend some credit cards that I can apply.

A Student Credit Card is specially crafted for students aged over 18 years. If you are just out of high school, applying for college or even pursuing a higher degree, you could get a Student Credit Card for yourself.

Types of Student Credit Cards

There are different types of Student Credit Cards. After filling out the application form, you can get a card against one of the following:

A Fixed Deposit in your name

If you have a Fixed Deposit in your name, you could request the bank to give you a Credit Card against it. Your FD account should have a certain amount in it for your card to get approved.

A Savings Account

If you already have a Savings Bank Account and a good savings history, you could request your bank to give you a Credit Card against it.

An Add-on Card

Another way to obtain a Student Credit Card is to get an add-on card on one of your family member’s Credit Cards. However, the family member would have to have a good credit history and Credit Score.
